How to Convert GPA to Percentage

Each formula below is a straight-line rescaling for one grading scale.

4.0 Scale

Percentage = GPA x 25

Example: 3.5 x 25 = 87.5%

10.0 Scale (India CGPA)

Percentage = CGPA x 9.5

Example: 8.0 x 9.5 = 76%

5.0 Scale (Weighted)

Percentage = GPA x 20

Example: 4.5 x 20 = 90%

Straight-Line Formula or School Table?

The formula rescales the number. A school's own table sets grade bands, so the same GPA can cover a range of marks. At the University of Toronto a 4.0 covers 85-100% and a 3.0 covers 73-76%, where the formula gives 100% and 75%.

Use your school's calculator when it publishes a grade table, and the formula here when you only need the rescaled number.
